Living Life...Boomer Style

Out Today

Martina McBride's new album Shine is out today. It is already ranked number 12 in the general music category and higher in the country category.

Another new release out today is Yanni Voices. It is already ranked as number six in music at Amazon. Wow, way to go Yanni.

Not a new release, but worthy of attention is U2's No Line on the Horizon is ranked number one in music.

Coming Out March 31st

Diana Krall's new album, Quiet Nights, isn't even out yet and she is ranked number 2 in music overall and number one in jazz, pop, and Broadway.

Keith Urban's new release, Defying Gravity, is also due out March 31 and it is already at number 18 in the music category and number 5 in country music.

Wow, the baby boomers still dominate the music industry after 5 decades. The pre-orders for Krall's CD and Urban's CD are pushing them up the charts. What do you think is going to happen when they debut next week?

Happy Listening,

►Val Kilmer as the Next Rooster Cogburn?

Monday, March 23, 2009

Could Val Kilmer Be the Next Rooster Cogburn in the Coen Bros. new Film?

We think yes. According to Entertainment News Ethan and Joel Coen will be remaking the classic movie True Grit. The directors will be telling the story from the 14-yr-old girl's point of view. Knowing the Coen brothers—with their earthy sense of humor, this could be very interesting.

No cast has been announced yet, but we at Living Life…Boomer Style Magazine would love to see the role of Rooster Cogburn go to Kilmer.

Cogburn was originally played by John Wayne for which he won an Academy Award. It seems to me, that Kilmer could brilliantly fit into Wayne's shoes and because the film is from a different point of view, Kilmer could definitely make the role of Rooster Cogburn his own.

Not only is Kilmer talented, our readers voted him as the #1 Boomer Hot Male of 2008. Congrats Val.

►Eddie Izzard is Brilliant

So is Minnie Driver and the two of them together, along with the rest of the cast, created something very special in The Riches. I asked Eddie Izzard today when the series was coming back on the boob tube.

And, Izzard said, "We're hoping to do a film of The Riches. Unfortunately, the TV series ended. But we liked us!."

It surprises and saddens me about the series ending. This was a truly fresh, interesting, intriguing, and fun show with incredible writers, acting, and fresh new subject. Yes, I am talking about a TV show.

The good news is the talk of a movie The Riches. Let's hope so.

BTW, Eddie Izzard made it onto our Men's Top 100 Boomer Hot list for 2009. The list comes out in August to celebrate the hot August nights, but you can check out 2008's Boomer Hot list.

Lastly, The Riches, Season 2 comes out tomorrow.

Enjoy the tidbit and folks let's put it out there, we want a movie of and
bring back our TV The Riches series, please.

►Lance Armstrong in Spain

Sorry to hear about Lance Armstrong breaking his clavicle. He will not be finishing the race in Spain. He said he is fine...tonight he was at a friends house watching the sunset and is in bed resting now. Good luck Lance, heal well, heal fast, and get back on the wheels soon.

►Demi Moore's Husband

Ashton Kutcher is on his way to Germany then on to Monaco for principle photography for his next movie. Can't wait to see it. Five Killer's is being directed by Rob Luketic and Tom Selleck will star in it, too.

He and Demi Moore are a fun and humorous couple, sure enjoy their essence together. Wonderful to see loving people who get along in this industry.

Now, the big question is Demi when is your next movie? We want to see you up on the silver screen again, soon.

BTW, if you want to see some great images of Demi, see her in Living Life...Boomer Style's Top 100 Boomer Hot Women. She is so gorgeous.

Jeffrey Katzenberg Brings a New Dimension to Film Making

Friday, January 16, 2009

"I've been at this 35 years. This is the most exciting development I've ever seen."

~Jeffrey Katzenberg

Possibly the New Wave of the Future

Dawn Bonner

"I love going to movies. I really love the movies, don't you? That is why I got into this business," said Jeffrey Katzenberg as he started sharing of a new technique he was about to show us on the big white screen in San Francisco on January 15. To say he was thrilled to be talking to us seems trite. Proud like a new father--more to the point.
